As such I plan to get around to this over the weekend, so have added an extra week on to the deadline. The deadline applies to the Talk/Tutorial surveys as well as the main conference survey, so even if you have completed the latter, please consider completing any surveys for talks and tutorials that you attended. If you have lost, misplaced or deleted the original email with your unique keycode in, please get in touch and I'll sort you out. Just for a bit of healthy competition, the surveys were also launch for YAPC::Europe last week, and I have some numbers that might prove interesting. All numbers as of 08:50 BST 14th August 2009. --------------------------------------------------- | | YAPC::NA | YAPC::Europe | |-------------------------------------------------| | Total Attendees | 284 | 331 | | Conference Survey | 109 | 154 | | Talk/Tutorial Surveys | 373 | 701 | | Open for (in weeks) | 5 | 1 | --------------------------------------------------- Understandly the Europeans are more responsive as they're more used to completing these surveys since 2006. While I'm very pleased with the level of response so far from YAPC::NA attendees, there are still lots of you that might have a particular insight that could help future organisers improve the conference experience for all. If you haven't completed the main conference survey, the mail I'll be sending out over the weekend will include your keycode to give you access to the survey site. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers Memoirs Of A Roadie CPAN Testers Blog
